Just wanted to revisit this thread as it really pissed me off when it was posted.
Initial post slagging off Gruda after his 1st proper game time has been edited, but quote below what "Plonker Piltdown" said last week:
A week later, Gruda's 2nd ever game of actual minutes today and most people are now saying he was our MOM, can see real quality there, special talent at only 20, and he will be a great player for us.
Feels worth repeating the message below to remind everyone, both for Gruda and others next in line for a slagging off - these are very young players, playing in a new league (the hardest league in the world), often in a new country, with new teammates and a new team that also has a brand new manager.
They are relatively cheap unpolished diamonds, that will need games and time to improve and develop. That's the plan and the Brighton model.

Genuinely thought this post was satire/a joke.
Embarrassing. How miserable and entitled are some people these days? It's nearly Christmas pal, cheer up!
Remember we're supposed to be "supporters" so let's get behind our new players and support them!
Forget the price tag, less than £40m doesn't get any guaranteed PL quality. He's young, and just starting to get game time (not 5 min cameos). That means he's doing well in training and our coach has seen that! And FYI he was better than half the people on the pitch yesterday, so pipe down.
Rather than shitting on our new signings who will likely need a season to hit their stride, enjoy the fact we're in the top 10, have people coming back from injury, a bunch of young unpolished diamonds being polished and things will only get better as the team gel.

Had a good game today. IMO he will become a top professional. My German friend rates him highly, but thinks he needs another year or so to develop fully.

I was very impressed with him in that first half.

Likewise. I think he looks like a good find.
He faded a bit in the 2nd half, (as did many) as he builds match fitness. There's an intelligent player in there though.
In a couple of seasons of playing at this level I think he'll be top drawer.
Also he's good on deadballs. Looks like we can take Dunk off free kicks now!

Agree. But more importantly, thank you for getting 'top drawer' grammatically correct on this forum (and the wider Internet) for... Well, for what I can remember, the first time ever
